About that hyperspace ramming scene... Holdo missed (kind of).
I'm assuming that Holdo wanted to ram the Supremacy in the centre, the Supremacy is about 60 km wide and she missed by seemingly 8 km off the centre of that ship. Let's also consider that the Supremacy has a height of 4 km.
That means that she would have missed a standard Star Destroyer, she would have also missed the new Resurgence-class Star Destroyer, she would have also missed the siege Dreadnought from the beginning of the TLJ. She would have missed Vader's Executor if it was facing her from the wrong angle.
And even at the right angle, she might have missed it since it certainly isn't 4 km wide at the tip.
I'm sure someone else could play with the assumption of where Holdo's targetting ended up on the Gaussian distribution (or whatever it actually is), and also play with the standard deviation of that distribution; but the tactic doesn't look that good if you're targetting anything reasonably sized unless you don't mind 95% of your fleet ending up halfway across the galaxy before getting a hit.
That's before getting into the discussion about the relative masses of the colliding objects and whether you need to be 757/1000 (or whatever) into the hyperspace transition to work.
